Problems solved by technology

To date, access to large volumes of sialylated human milk oligosaccharides has not been possible by using isolation, biotechnology and synthetic methodologies.
The chemical synthesis of sialylated human milk oligosaccharides is one of the most challenging fields of carbohydrate chemistry due to the nature of sialic acid donors themselves.
In general, stereoselective glycosylations are achieved via neighbouring group participations but the lack of a substituent at C-3 position of sialic acid prevents such an option.
Furthermore, the presence of the carboxylic moiety at the anomeric position of sialic acid also creates unfavoured steric and electronic effects for stereoselective α-sialylations.
However, these methodologies have not been attractive for scale-up due to lack of efficient purification methodologies, use of expensive and toxic reagents and the involvements of many synthetic steps.
The use of either very expensive or very toxic chemicals for the sialylation such as mercury cyanide, mercury bromide

[0218]

[0219]A mixture of anhydrous sialic acid (100 g, 323 mmol) and dried Amberlite IR-120 (H+) ion exchange resin (100 g) in MeOH (1500 mL) was stirred for 15 hours at RT. The ion exchange resin was filtered off and washed with MeOH (2×100 mL). The washes were combined with the filtrate and concentrated to 300 mL. The concentrated residue crystallized upon seeding at RT. The crystals were collected by filtration giving 73.8 g (71%) sialic acid methyl ester. The mother liquor was concentrated (10.5 g) and recrystallized from MeOH (30 mL) to yield 7.4 g (7%) sialic acid methyl ester. Total yield 81.2 g (78%).

[0221]

[0222]To a suspension of anhydrous sialic acid (100 g, 323 mmol) in MeOH (1200 ml) [0.03% water content] 8% HCl in MeOH (50 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours at RT. The reaction mixture was neutralized with triethylamine (15 ml) and the clear solution was concentrated to 270 mL. The concentrated residue crystallized upon seeding at RT for 2 hours. The solid was collected by filtration yielding 104.9 g (100%).

example 3

[0223]

[0224]A suspension of sialic acid methyl ester (50 g, 155 mmol) and acetic anhydride (73 ml, 775 mmol) in DCM (175 mL) was stirred at RT and 70% perchloric acid (1 mL) was then added dropwise within 30 minutes. During the addition the temperature of the mixture increased until reflux. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 2.5 h, and after this time MeOH (7.5 ml, 185 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred for a further hour at RT. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (175 mL) and washed with water (3×50 mL). The combined water phases were extracted with DCM (2×100 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated NaHCO3 (2×100 mL) and evaporated. The residue (59.6 g) was dissolved in iBuOAc at 50° C. and the mixture was cooled down to RT and let overnight complete the crystallization. The solid was collected by filtration yielding 39.2 g (52%) of tetraacetyl sialic acid methyl ester.
